Thanks John, except it does run in view3dscene and contact, maybe I ought to try some others.

Joe, check the tag is Shape instead of Transform in the USEd elements.
 
DEF/USE attributes with the same value should have the same XML tag.  Shape matches Shape and Transform matches Transform.
 
If another browser accepts this file, I would be surprised, perhaps a bug should be reported, but I don’t know how lenient the standard is.  It’s like shoving a square peg in a round hole.
 
Don’t forget X3D-Edit Q&A!
 
!= means “not equals” in many programming languages.  Perhaps unicode could be used, but I’m not sure of font or encoding (could be cp1252 or something).  ! is also “not” in many programming languages, as an easy mnemonic.  Probably the error message could be friendlier.
 
Sorry, two messages today!
 
John

Hey FreeWRL, my little flower animation thing has error(s) I never get anywhere else.  
Can you please help me figure this out?  

Attached is zip of FlowerSet1010.x3d

(In the following, when xml, the [ is substituted for the < left angle because my mailer doesn't like anything looking like xml.

When I use FreewrL I get this in message window:

line 999 DEF/USE mismatch, 'BorderFlower01', Transform != ShapeWarning,
line 999 DEF/USE mismatch, 'BorderFlower01', Transform != Shape *ended

User Code related to this error seems to be as follows.
Here is DEF of BorderFlower01
[!-- Build Flower #3 and BorderFlower01 -->
[Transform DEF='BorderFlower01' scale='1 1 1'>
 [Transform translation='0.5 0 0' >
  [Shape USE='Stem1'/>
 [/Transform>
... shortened by some petals added not shown
 [Transform translation='0.5 0.01 0' scale='1 1.5 1'>
  [Shape USE='FlowerCenter'/>
 [/Transform>
[/Transform>  

Now all three of the first flowers, including BorderFlower01, show up fine with  animation working no problem.  

Then I USE BorderFlower01 to build another set of one Special flower and 20 border flowers.  

[Transform DEF='rFlowerSpecial' scale='2 2 2' rotation='0 0 1 0' translation='7 0.35 0'>
 [Shape USE='BorderFlower01'/>
[/Transform>
[Transform DEF='rFlower01' rotation='0 0 1 0' translation='9.198902 0.25 -0.863062'>
 [Shape USE='BorderFlower01'/>
[/Transform>
. . . plus 18 r and l flowers
[Transform DEF='lFlower10' rotation='0 0 1 0' translation='18.515152 0.25 30.003242'>
 [Shape USE='BorderFlower01'/>
[/Transform>  

When I run it I get error and I don't see why.
Thanks for looking.
Joe
